Components

Install SAS 9.3 on your designated SAS server. You must install Base SAS and SAS Integration Technologies in order to run stored processes. SAS/GRAPH software is required to run some of the sample stored processes. Install any other products that are used by your stored processes. You must also configure a SAS Metadata Server in order to create and use stored processes. You must configure one or more stored process servers or workspace servers in order to execute stored processes.

Install SAS Management Console on any system with network access to your SAS server.

The Java interface to SAS Stored Processes requires the Java 2 Runtime Environment (JRE), Standard Edition. For information about the specific version required for your operating environment, see the installation instructions for SAS Management Console. Some development environments and servlet containers include a copy of the appropriate version of the Java 2 JRE. If you need a copy, you can download it from the Third-Party software CD in the SAS Installation Kit. If you are developing Java applications or creating Java Server Pages (JSPs), then you also need the Java 2 Software Development Kit (SDK), which includes a copy of the Java 2 JRE.

Java developers or servlet containers that execute Java Server Pages (JSPs) require the Java 2 Software Development Kit (SDK), Standard Edition. For information about the specific version required for your operating environment, see the installation instructions for SAS Management Console. Some development environments and servlet containers include a copy of the appropriate version of the Java 2 SDK. If you need a copy, you can download it from the Third-Party software CD in the SAS Installation Kit.

A servlet container is a Java server that can act as a middle-tier access point to SAS Stored Processes. A servlet container can be used to host the SAS Web Infrastructure Platform or user-written servlets or Java Server Pages. For specific servlet container requirements for the SAS Web Infrastructure Platform, see the product documentation. Servlet containers used for user-written servlets or JSPs must include a JRE version that is compatible with the SAS 9.3 requirements for the operating environment. Supported servlet containers include JBoss, Oracle WebLogic, and IBM WebSphere.

The SAS Web Infrastructure Platform is installed on a servlet container and includes the SAS Stored Process Web Application. This Web application enables you to execute stored processes from a Web browser or other Web client.

SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office must be installed on a client Windows system in order to execute stored processes from Microsoft Office on that system. The SAS Integration Technologies client for Windows must also be installed on the same system.

SAS BI Web Services requires that several other components be installed, including the SAS Web Infrastructure Platform. For more information about required components, see the installation instructions for SAS BI Web Services.

SAS Enterprise Guide is a Microsoft Windows client application that can be installed on any system that has network access to your SAS server.
